It would've been nice to delay it a bit more, get some more organizing in before the Florida concentration camps. But the Dems were determined to lose. I know they blame the voters, but it's on the Dems and their strategists and the lobbyists and donors that pay their strategists.
All the establishments Dems speaking out against Mamdani's election proves that the kind of big picture changes people are asking for are anathema to them, and they would rather lose than win with a socialist, even a milquetoast Dem Soc. They're the same people advising her to yell about having the biggest lethal military or that Iran is the #1 enemy while a genocide is going on, or to hide the guy who gave kids free school lunches and not to advertise that, while instead advertising how many Republicans are on your side. To put your best proposals on your website where no one cares. To say the economy is doing great and you'd change nothing about what Biden did while everyone is saying groceries are expensive. To match the Republican playbook of fear instead of trying to inspire people with what's possible.
Sorry for that rant, I'm just pissed. Every bad thing that happens does seem to increase awareness of communism, so at least there's that. I just hope left groups can still organize with the level of oppression they are going to get and that the poor and working-class aren't too distracted just trying to survive under these cuts.
She used the socialism or barbarism line. Nice.
